M. Dzierosz 1978 El Jiol, 230 m., 19.5 km. NWG Encarnacion by road. Depto. Itapúa, Paraguay. 4 September cool temperatures with a heavily overcast sky. At times there was rain falling, but most often there was a heavy mist. I was in the field from 07:30 to 11:15 (when the rain got too strong to do any recording). I tried to stay in relatively open areas because the trees were dropping a lot of waters. I went from the hotel to the airstrip across the tung orchard to the castor tree area, across the NW portion of Becker's forest to pasture #1, then back to the hotel via the road and airstrip. There were very few birds vocalizing. 5 September Today there was again a heavy mist. In the afternoon the mist lifted, but it was still heavily overcast. Temperatures were cool. At 07:35 I took the road out of the hotel area and walked down the road to Encarnacion. I then took the road which leads to Becker's forest to the airstrip. From the airstrip I went to the gravel pit, where I spent most the morning (from approximately 8:30 to 12:00).
